We would like to introduce the energy harvesting tiles developed by London- based Pavegen System. Pavegen uses what it calls a hybrid black box technology to convert the energy of a footstep into electricity, which is either stored in a battery or fed directly to devices. A typical tile is made of recycled polymer, with the top surface made from recycled truck tires. A foot stomp that depresses a single tile by five millimeters produces between one and seven watts. The marathon runners generated 4.7 kilowatt-hours of energy, enough to power a five-watt LED bulb for 940 hours, or 40 days.
Here are some of the benefits of this technology:
– Pavegen could be a new business line for our sister company ENAR company
– It is a good step forward towards Alkifah environmental
– Suitable for the smart cities in NEOM
